    i would consider selling it for $100 shipped in the US..... i paid more than that for it and (i'm sure you know) they're quite a bit more than that new..... i took the anodized blue metal lines out of it and replaced it with some nice barbed lines..... clamps are almost unnecessary

    LosX: When are you going to be up my way next so I can crawl around in your engine bay. Heh.

    SystemError: I'm basically putting a fuel pressure regulator on the end of my fuel rail, then running a line back to the fuel pump. I won't know the full details of things till I get it done as I'm having a shop help me do this.

    Tamago: I'll hit you up for parts as soon as I figure out what I need.

    toyotaspeed: Ah, well I'll see if he's still interested. I got mine for $100 brand new.

    damn.... well i bought mine a year ago for a little over $100 (used... strangely enough from a corolla owner on ebay).... it worked great, until the B&M gauge broke and i kept adjusting the FPR and didn't know what settings it was actually going to (like now, with a stock regulator it's reading and stuck at over 100psi even with the car off)..... in any case when i was looking around they were like $170 new

    i couldn't really see selling it for much less since i'm tempted to use it on the mr2 after i install the SC mr2 fuel pump... and selling it for less would just be a loss for me

    Hey Vamp, have you considered an oil cooler as well?

    why add an oil cooler??? Oil needs to run at certain temps... and the turbo doesnt heat it up too bad... the spyders need to worry about oil coolers because of the engine location

    I'm going to add it if needed. I'll see how hot things run first since I have an oil temp gauge that I can monitor.

    Just oil cooled. I'll keep some money on the side for the cooler just in case, but I think I'll be able to run without it fine for a while.
